About our hog roast hire in Queensbury
There’s nothing quite like the smell of a hog roast drifting across a garden or field. We roast slowly on site in Queensbury, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Whether it’s wakes and memorial gatherings and sports clubs and societies, we can cook rotisserie chicken, new potatoes and salads for your guests.
Gardens in Queensbury tend to be compact, with neighbours on both sides, so clearance from fences and windows matters most. A word with the neighbours before a long roast is always a good idea. We plan the timings around your day, working back from when you want to eat.

Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it’s a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
A DIY hog roast suits a relaxed party where someone enjoys cooking. For weddings and bigger events, a catered roast is normally easier.
How we price a hog roast
Each booking is quoted on its own, based on a few main things:
- Site access
- How many people are eating
- Plates or china
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
Adding lamb, chicken, extra sides or china changes the price, so each one is itemised. A simple menu keeps the cost down.
What to tell us
When you enquire, please mention:
- The address or postcode
- Where the roaster could go, ideally with a picture
- The date and time of the event
- Any dietary needs or allergies
Getting a quote is simple: tell us when, where, how many and what time you’d like to eat. You will get a clear quote listing what’s included. Send us your details through our quote form.
What the cooking area needs
Planning the cooking spot is the key. A quick checklist:
- Space away from buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Flat outdoor ground for the roaster and a gazebo
As a London location, Queensbury is inside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, and access takes planning: let us know how we reach the cooking spot and where we can park.
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

What happens on the day
Slow roasting is the whole point: hours of gentle heat make the pork soft and juicy while the skin turns into crackling. It rests for a short while before carving. Evenings in Queensbury stay light until about 9:20pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:05pm; after dark, the serving area and the path to it need good lighting.
- It starts with your date, venue, numbers and serving time.
- We check the date and the cooking area, then send a quote.
- We arrive well ahead, put the cover up and get the hog roasting.
- Our chef carves to order and our staff serve at the agreed time.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.

What we serve, dish by dish
Crackling
Long, slow roasting turns the skin into crackling, and there’s a piece for everyone who wants it.
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V)
Some guests will be vegetarian, and halloumi skewers give them a proper hot option.
A hog roast compared with other options
Catered or DIY? With catering we roast, carve and serve; with hire you do the cooking. Most hosts choose catering for anything bigger than a family party. When comparing prices, compare the same things: the menu, sides, service time, staffing, crockery and travel. The cheapest quote is not always the best value.
Why Queensbury hosts choose us
- Halloumi skewers and a vegan option too
- Rolls with stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Serving and clearing done for you
- An itemised quote
See our pricing or the cost guide.
Planning for dietary needs
Tell us about dietary needs early and we will help. Tips:
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- Ask for gluten-free rolls if anyone needs them
- Find out who doesn’t eat pork, so we can bring lamb, chicken or vegetarian options
- Label the vegetarian and vegan food clearly
If timings shift, tell us: a cooked roast can be held for a while before carving.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
FAQs for Queensbury
Could you cook in Roe Green Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, usually the council, and many parks do not allow cooking. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
What if our house in Queensbury has no side access?
It depends on access: a rear gate or yard usually works. Tell us about steps, gates and parking and we will advise.
Do you travel across Greater London?
We cater across Greater London. Ask for a quote.
What meats can we have?
Add lamb or rotisserie chicken alongside the pork. Vegetarian and vegan options are available too.
How big a hog will we need?
We plan quantities from the numbers you give us, and we’ll confirm everything in writing.
What’s the price?
Each event is priced on its own, based on numbers, menu, service time and distance. Ask us for a quote.
Can you do gluten-free?
We can provide gluten-free rolls if you ask. Ask for the allergen list, as stuffing normally contains gluten.
How do we prepare?
Just the agreed spot and a contact on the day. We bring the roaster, cover and serving kit.
